  • First commitment is to refugee arm of the Stanford Med | MENA Health Program.

    The Program is piloting a community-based mental health intervention in Jordan where there is a high prevalence of mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and trauma, among refugees yet a low number of specialists available to treat.

    In this intervention, refugee women will be trained, supervised, and paid to deliver mental health care to members of their own community, thereby meeting the mental health needs while creating jobs for refugee women. Win-win!

    All other commitments will be identified, funded with input from our community.
